Vessel manager confirms one of five suspected deaths tied to ship sunk by Houthis in Red Sea
Maritime security sources have said that four people were believed to have been killed during the repeated raids on the Liberia-flagged ship that started on Monday.
Twenty-one mariners, including at least two armed guards, later abandoned the vessel. Since then, 10 of them have been rescued.
The manager of the Eternity C said another 10 individuals remain unaccounted for and that the company was working through multiple channels to verify a Houthi claim that the Iran-aligned group had picked up some crew after the vessel went down on Wednesday.
The company said it has asked all ships in the area to assist in the ongoing search, and is also working to provide families with timely updates.

A California professor was shot and killed in Greece by a masked gunman in a horror broad daylight execution. Przemyslaw Jeziorski, a UC Berkeley business professor, was shot five times in the chest and neck at close range while in the country for a custody hearing on July 4, according to local news outlet TVP World. The 43-year-old, who's worked as a professor at Berkeley's Haas School of Business for eight years, was shot near his ex-wife's home in the suburb of Athens.

He was there to attend a child custody hearing, ABC 7 News reported. The late father's brother paid tribute to Jeziorski on WhyDonate - the European version of GoFundMe. 'Our family is heartbroken, and we are doing everything we can to ensure that justice is served,' Łukasz Jeziorski wrote. 'To pursue legal action and support ongoing investigations, I have secured legal representation in Greece and will also need support for future legal processes in Poland and the United States. 'These efforts come with significant and urgent costs that my mother and I cannot manage on our own.' He remembered his brother as 'a loving father' and 'beloved professor.' 'He was a leading scholar in marketing science, industrial organization and data analytics. He loved teaching and sharing his passion for the intricacies of marketing analytics and marketing science with his students.' As of Monday morning, nearly €49,668, or more than $58,000, was raised to help the family. A colleague of his, Zsolt Katona, also paid tribute to the late professor. 'It is with incredible sadness that I share the news that our beloved colleague, Przemyslaw (Przemek) Jeziorski passed away last Friday while traveling in Greece,' Katona wrote.

'Rest in Peace, Przemek.' Berkeley Haas Dean Jennifer Chatman also released a statement following his tragic death.

A COLLEGE professor has been shot and killed while visiting his family in Greece, reports say. Dad-of-two Przemysław Jeziorski, 43, was gunned down in an Athens neighborhood on July 4. Jeziorski, who taught at the University of California Berkeley, was shot five times in the chest and neck, as reported by the Polish outlet TVP World. He was killed in broad daylight near the home of his ex-wife. Jeziorski was in the Greek capital for a custody hearing, according to the ABC affiliate KGO-TV.

Cops are probing if the attack was targeted. Jeziorski, who was known as Przemek, had worked at Berkeley's Haas School of Business in varying capacities since 2012. Heartbroken brother Lukasz said his sibling was a victim of a 'terrible crime.' 'He was a leading scholar in marketing science, industrial organization and data analytics,' Lukasz said in a post shared on WhyDonate - a GoFundMe equivalent. 'He loved teaching and sharing his passion for the intricacies of marketing analytics and marketing science with his students.' He claimed his brother was murdered in cold blood. In a Facebook post, Lukasz told how their family had been rocked by a tragedy - weeks before his brother's death. Lukasz and Jeziorski's dad died on June 4. "We barely started to get over it," he said. Jeziorski was a highly-respected scholar having worked at Berkeley in different roles for 13 years. He had been an associate professor of marketing at the college since 2018. FAMILY'S DOUBLE TRAGEDY Jeziorski also worked at colleges including Maryland's Johns Hopkins University and Duke University in North Carolina during his career, according to his LinkedIn. He was a visiting scholar at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business between September and December 2021. Outside of academia, Jeziorski worked as a Microsoft researcher between 2008 and 2010.
